Spring 2018 On Campus Housing

October 3, 2017

Welcome Home to Ohio State!

The Office of Student Life and University Housing welcomes you to campus and invites you to learn about Ohio State's campus living options from actual students living in Ohio State residence hall rooms. This video showcases the differences in residence hall options and the benefits of living on campus. Featured residence halls include Siebert Hall, Bradley Hall, Drackett Tower and Lincoln Tower which represent housing options in each residential area. Regardless of where you live on campus, Student Life and University Housing will welcome you home.

University Housing emails out housing contract information to incoming freshman (who graduated from high school in 2017) in rounds based on their paid acceptance fee date. Housing materials begin to be emailed to the students' OSU email accounts in late October and continue through early January. Housing for transfer students is offered based on space availability. We encourage you to activate your OSU email account and check it regularly not only for housing information but for information that might also be sent out prior to your arrival on campus from other university offcices.

Students are able to complete the housing contract online. Those students who are 18 years of age or older can also make their space reservation fee and filing fee ($350) payment online as well. Students under the age of 18 complete the contract online and then need to print the signature page, have a parent or guardian sign and date it, and return the signature page with the payment to the Housing Service's office.

We make the housing assignments over the winter break based on the date we received the completed contract and payment and will email the housing assignments along with roommate(s) contact information in late December or early January to the student's OSU email account. Move in day for spring semester will be Sunday, January 7, 2018. Information regarding our move in process and what students are encouraged to bring are emailed shortly after the time of their housing assignment notifications.

We look forward to seeing you in our residence halls this spring! If you have questions please contact Housing at 614-292-8266 or housing@osu.edu.
